Members of the Gold Wing Road Riders Chapter A of Warren recently collected new and gently used stuffed animals at their Campout weekend and 30th anniversary. The “Teddy Bear Brigade” which is part of “Gleaning For The World” sends the stuffed animals to areas of natural disasters like the hurricane that recently hit Louisiana, along with disaster response supplies. The animals give some comfort and security to a child that may have just lost everything. Chapter Q collected 8 bags and delivered them to Virginia. Pictured is the chapter director, Rita Gillespie, a few furry friends and the assistant chapter director, Mike Gillespie. Many thanks for all the brought in the animals.
